The guide posted by marc280 is very good. I used that as well.
Just keep in mind its specifically for the LS400 so some of the little bits are different. (i.e. some of the accessories may be a little different so there may be extra bolts or not as many on some bits)

cool thanks MX73

I should be right I was going to do it without a manual so any hlp is great

matty its auto unlike a lot of 1UZ's this one is still in the car it started life in

Luke, I can photocopy the relevent pages from the 1UZ-FE engine manual if you need them.

cheers Chuck.

[TheStitt]

well well finally gotten to this what a **** of a job.

All the links above are a great help

after a few hours I'm a good part of the way of removing it all

[Cuzzo]

hey stitty is it true these dont have adjustable CAS? so fixed timing?

[TheStitt]

yes I couldn't see anywhere to adjust it yesterday

[CrUZida]

No adjustment

[Javal]

Correct-o, there is no manual adjustment, the tensioner keeps it at the right tension all the time

(hence its' name?)

[TheStitt]

no he is talking about fixed timing. Not fixed tension on the belt


Fuck I hate toyota atm, there where two bolts that mounted the fan mount, that went through the AC comp mount and shit on a UZS131 there are in a crap spot, A Celsior and or Soarer the chassis might be different and these bolts would be easier to get to. But god there are in a crap spot on the Crown

[Javal]

I see. Well i imagine timing adjustment would be controlled by the ECM.

I pretty much have no helpful advice on this matter.

[RA35GT]

I think i know the ones your talking about. (I didn't realise they were there and couldnt move the fan pulley lol)

i got one from underneath the car with long extension and socket and the other i had to use spanner because there was a/c line in the way.

i feel your pain, it took me week and a half between going to work and stuff.

Yeah, the timing and advance is controlled electronically. There is no way to adjust base timing.

[CrUZida]

I dread the day when I choose to do the timing belt and water pump on the Celsior

[TheStitt]

can anyone tell me if I can just pull the cam pulley off to get to the cam seal, or if I have to remove the a hole lot more stuff.


I had to use a spanner, and bend my hand as A/C lines and chassis where in the way

[CrUZida]

I think the black pressed steel cover needs to come off, which its easier said that done.

But its been a long time since I've done it.

you gotta remember Stitty that the 130-series crown was designed for the 7M..... they only shoved in the 1UZ cos they had a whole heap of spare 1UZs and were getting sick of 7M-BHGs.
